Music behind DJ: Add N To (X)	Oh Yeah, Oh No "Oh Yeah, Oh No" by "Add N To (X)"	Avant Hard	Mute Records	1999	"Add N to (X)'s third album, Avant Hard, combines the noisy, analog aesthetic of their previous works with an increasingly sophisticated, structured approach. Though the group's overdriven, menacing synth sound prevails on songs like "Robot New York" and "Buckminster Fuller," unexpected touches like the operatic vocals on "Fyuz" and the go-go guitars on "Skills" provide a welcome contrast and round out the band's sonic palette. Avant Hard finds Add N to (X) expanding their emotional range as well. The album begins with theoretical pieces like the aptly named "Barry 7's Contraption" and segues into a brace of filmic songs like the horror-show creepiness of "Steve's Going to Teach Himself Who's Boss" to the robo-porn soundtrack that is "Metal Fingers in My Body." "Revenge of the Black Regent" and "Ann's Eveready Equestrian" take this trend toward drama and build it to near Wagnerian heights, blending synths, strings, choral voices, and sound effects into symphonies of urban decay. Finally, Avant Hard ends on a relatively gentle note, with a pair of songs -- "Oh Yeah Oh No" and "Machine Is Bored With Love" -- that explore Add N to (X)'s softer, even poignant side. "Machine" is based on samples from the early-'70s experimental band Egg, adding to a long list of musical pioneers -- including Joe Meek, Suicide, Kraftwerk, and Bruce Haack -- that the group borrows from and updates. With analog savvy and rock attitude, Avant Hard reveals itself as one of Add N to (X)'s finest moments."		0:00:32 (Pop-up)
Nico	I'm Not Sayin' "I'm Not Sayin'" by "Nico"	I'm Not Sayin'	Immediate / Phillips	1965	An early Gordon Lightfoot song covered by a pre-Velvet Underground Nico. Gordon Lightfoot died this Monday May 1. "Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. CC OOnt (November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music. He is credited with helping to define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. He has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and his songs have been recorded by some of the world's most renowned musical artists. Lightfoot's biographer Nicholas Jennings said, "His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness" -- That same biographer had much to say about Nico's version of this song, find his fascinating page about it here: Nico sings Gord: The coolest Lightfoot cover of all Also, according to AllMusic: "Midway between her career as a European actress and model and her arrival in Andy Warhol's New York, Nico was introduced to producer Andrew Loog Oldham by Rolling Stones' guitarist Brian Jones. It was Oldham who cast her as a folksinger and chose Canadian Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm Not Sayin'" as her debut release. Jones played acoustic guitar on the session. Nico herself wasn't especially fond of the song, a bouncy Dylanesque number which had to be taken down to B-flat major before her own natural contralto voice could get to grips with it. Strings, arranged by David Whittaker, and a light-hearted glockenspiel added to the airy performance. Yet it is not so far a departure from Nico's work elsewhere in the mid-'60s -- with and without the Velvet Underground, she was first and foremost a balladeer." //// Also of note, Jimmy Page was a session musician at the time & also provided guitar on the track. //// Lastly, a promotional video from that time can be found here: Nico - I'm Not Sayin' (1965 video/"film promo")		0:05:06 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Whitney K	635 East Hastings "635 East Hastings" by "Whitney K"	When The Party's Over	Egg Paper Factory	2017	Tonight we will be interviewing Konner Whitney, aka Whitney K. This is one of his earlier & more abstract/noisy tracks. It seems to draw some inspiration from early VU, which is why it is natural to have it follow Nico/Gordon Lightfoot.		0:07:43 (Pop-up)
Goat, John Mark Lapham	Under No Nation 12" Remix	Seu Sangue EP	Rocket Recording	2023	GOAT are the Swedish collective known for wearing masks, bizarre costumes and incorporate afrobeat/worldbeat into their psych-influenced sound. The band are currently based in Gothenburg (famous for the metallic likes of At the Gates, In Flames and Dark Tranquility), but claim to originate from a Norrbotten voodoo sect in Korpilombolo. Seu Sangue is s a collection of four remixes of cuts taken from the recent Oh Death album as well as a brand-new unreleased track. The remix conjures memories of early ‘80s hip-hop, The Tom Tom Club and ESG. Additional percussion is provided by former Swans member Thor Harris, whose presence is admittedly a little surprising seeing as his former employers weren’t exactly known for their levity or funkiness...It's good to have GOAT back!	*	0:14:19 (Pop-up)
Dawn Penn	You Don't Love Me (No No No)		Warner	1994	You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" is a song by Jamaican recording artist Dawn Penn, released in February 1994 as the first single from her first studio album, No, No, No (1994). Penn had originally recorded a version of Cobbs' 1960 song "You Don't Love Me" in 1967, incorporating elements of its music and lyrics. It is claimed that the Cobbs song was, in turn, based on Diddley's 1955 song "She's Fine, She's Mine". Thus, both are credited as songwriters on Penn's recording. In 1994, after a 17-year break from the music industry, she re-recorded a dancehall version of the song retitled "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)". Penn's 1994 version of the song became a commercial success worldwide, charting in the top 20 of several countries including #3 in the UK and has been covered since by many artists of note including Beyonce and Rihanna.		0:20:05 (Pop-up)
Ringo Starr	No-No Song "No-No Song" by "Ringo Starr"	Goodnight Vienna	Apple Records	1974	Goodnight Vienna is the fourth studio album by Ringo Starr. It was recorded in the summer of 1974 in Los Angeles, and released later that year. Goodnight Vienna followed the commercially successful predecessor Ringo, and Starr used many of the same players, including Billy Preston, Klaus Voormann, Robbie Robertson, Harry Nilsson, and producer Richard Perry. The title is a Liverpool slang phrase meaning "it's all over". The cover artwork for Goodnight Vienna was based on a still from the classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Starr's head replacing that of actor Michael Rennie shown standing behind the robot Gort. A television commercial, which featured a voiceover from John Lennon, depicted the cover's flying saucer (with Starr) over Los Angeles—landing on the roof of the Capitol Records Building in Hollywood.		0:23:25 (Pop-up)
The Zombies	Tell Her No "Tell Her No" by "The Zombies"	Tell Her No/She's Not There 7"	London Records	1967	"Tell Her No" is a hit single written by Rod Argent and included by English rock band the Zombies on their debut album The Zombies in 1965. According to Argent, "Tell Her No" was influenced by the music of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Music critic Maury Dean described it as a precursor to jazz fusion for the way the song moves in fits and starts and for its polyrhythms. The word "No" is mentioned a total of 63 times in the lyrics.		0:25:58 (Pop-up)
The Launderettes	Nobody But Me "Nobody But Me" by "The Launderettes"	Shaken and Disturbed	Wicked Cool Records	2002	The Launderettes is an all girl garage rock band from Oslo, Norway. The band has been around since 1996, and over the years they have toured both the US and Europe, and released several albums and singles. "Nobody but Me" is a song written by O'Kelly, Rudolph, and Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers and first recorded by The Isley Brothers in 1962. The most commercially successful and widely known version to date is the 1968 US Top 10 hit by The Human Beinz, which was their only chart success. Dave Marsh, in his Book of Rock Lists named the version by the Human Beinz as "The most negative song to hit the Top 40," noting that the word "no" is sung over 100 times in a mere 2:16. The word "nobody" appears 46 times more; and "for balance, they throw in the word Yeah once".		0:28:07 (Pop-up)
Vivian Girls	No "No" by "Vivian Girls"	Vivian Girls	Fuck It Tapes	2008	Vivian Girls, named after Henry Darger's magnum opus (full title: The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion), started in Brooklyn, NY in March 2007, as the trio of Cassie Ramone (guitar/vocals), Katy "Kickball Katy" Goodman (bass/drums/vocals), and Frankie Rose (drums/bass/vocals). Within the first couple of months, they had already developed a strong local following, supporting acts like Jay Reatard, Sonic Youth, and the King Khan & BBQ Show, as well as finding kindred spirits in other local bands, like Cause Co-Motion!, Crystal Stilts, and Woods, with whom they shared many bills and helped develop a local scene, to which the band is still very much connected. n January 2014, the band announced they were breaking up, with two last shows at The Church on York in Los Angeles, and Death by Audio in Brooklyn.		0:30:37 (Pop-up)

Their subject matter is nostalgic and sad, but simultaneously sarcastic and humorous. Some motifs in their lyrics include women, heartbreak, cynicism, sex, memories, cigarettes, hair, women's first names, and loneliness. They are also known for their use of vintage audio samples that are sampled into many of their songs. Their songs have seen major traction on TikTok..which they find dismaying and upsettng.		0:31:59 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Ridiculous Trio	No Fun "No Fun" by "The Ridiculous Trio"	The Ridiculous Trio Plays The Stooges	Modern Harmonic	2020	The Ridiculous Trio are from Chicago, and, as a unit, seem to have devoted their entire existence to covering the Stooges...performed entirely on drums, trombone and tuba! But it’s not just a novelty thing. The band comprises of three musicians who are regulars on the Chicago avant-garde/free-music scene. Trombonist Hagedorn explains his part in it: “With Iggy's tenor voice and my instrument being in the tenor range, I knew our timbres would match. Iggy approached his voice with a lot of patience and space, but used a full, aggressive sound that had plenty of nuance, and that's what I wanted to replicate in the trio... Sometimes I'd go between playing the lead guitar part to the vocal, switching back and forth as needed.”		0:34:50 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Beach Boys	Caroline, No - Instrumental Version	Pet Sounds (50th Anniversary Edition)	Capitol Records	1966	"Caroline, No" is a song by American musician Brian Wilson that was released as his first solo record on March 7, 1966 and, two months later, reissued as the closing track on the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds. Written with Tony Asher, the lyrics describe a disillusioned man who reflects on his former love interest and the loss of her innocence. Musically, it is distinguished for its jazz chords and unusual combination of instruments, including bass flutes, 12-string electric guitar, and muted harpsichord. The words were inspired by a past girlfriend of Asher's named Carol Amen. He initially conceived the title phrase as "Carol, I Know", misheard by Wilson as "Caroline, No". Wilson produced the track in early 1966 at Western Studio with 12 session musicians who variously played harpsichord, flutes, guitars, basses, and vibraphone. Some of the percussion involved an empty water cooler jug struck from the bottom with a mallet. Wilson sped up the mix by one semitone to make his voice sound younger. The album version was edited to include a non-musical tag consisting of the sounds of Wilson's dogs barking and a passing train.		0:38:28 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: John Foxx	Mr. No "Mr. No" by "John Foxx"	The Virgin Years 1980-1985	Metamatic Records	2014	John Foxx is an English singer, musician, artist, photographer, graphic designer, writer, teacher and lecturer. He was the original lead singer of the new wave band Ultravox, before leaving to embark on a solo career in 1980 with the album Metamatic. Primarily associated with electronic synthesizer music, he has also pursued a parallel career in graphic design and education. Andy Kellman of AllMusic described Foxx as an influential cult figure whose "detached, jolting vocal style inspired mainstream and underground artists across the decades."		0:40:46 (Pop-up)

The Kills	Getting Down "Getting Down" by "The Kills"	Midnight Boom	Domino	2008	Midnight Boom is the third album by indie rock band The Kills, released on March 10, 2008, through Domino Records. It was recorded at the Key Club Recording Company in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The title refers to the hours from midnight to 6 a.m., in which the band was at the creative peak, writing material for the album. The type of twosome who wear sunglasses indoors, Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart teeter on the edge of ridiculousness - but at least they are faithful to their idea of rock'n'roll. It's a stripped-down foray into a netherworld of sex, drugs and very late bedtimes. As ever, Hince and Mosshart play it like they mean it...		1:14:46 (Pop-up)
TRIO	Ya-Ya "Ya-Ya" by "TRIO"	Trio	Mercury	1981	Trio was a German band also known as ZAM in Europe, formed in the town of Großenkneten in 1979. The band is most known for the 1982 song "Da Da Da" which was a hit in 30 countries worldwide. The song was originally written by Dorsey, C. L. Blast, Bobby Robinson, and Morris Levy in 1961 and was inspired by a children's nursery rhyme. It has been covered by numerous artists over the years and was a frequent fixture in early Beatles sets, with Lennon taking vocal duties. French versions were also recorded by Johnny Halliday and Petula Clark.		1:17:44 (Pop-up)
David Byrne	Poison "Poison" by "David Byrne"	The Catherine Wheel - The Complete Score	Sire Records	1981	The Catherine Wheel is an album by Scottish-American musician David Byrne, released in 1981 by Sire Records. It contains Byrne's musical score for choreographer Twyla Tharp's dance project of the same name. In some ways, The Catherine Wheel is David Byrne’s most overtly avant-garde work to date. It’s also his most rhythmically informed album, featuring two full-time percussionists, Yogi Horton and John Chernoff. Byrne handles most of the musical duties with contributions from a familiar circle of players (Brian Eno, Adrian Belew, Dolette McDonald, Steve Scales, Bernie Worrell). As to whether it offers a glimpse into what life after Talking Heads would look like for Byrne, the answer is yes....and no...		1:20:00 (Pop-up)
The Jesus and Mary Chain	Upside Down	Psychocandy (Expanded)	Blanco Y Negro	1985	You can't have an uhuh or hey hey hey set without JAMC, there are so many examples to choose from! The album is considered a landmark recording: its combination of guitar feedback and noise with traditional pop melody and structure proved influential on the forthcoming shoegaze genre and alternative rock in general. Bubblegum pop wrapped in screetching noise. "Upside Down" sold out its initial pressing and ended the year by being placed at number 37 in John Peel's Festive Fifty. Fun fact about JAMC: Their first recordings came about when they bought a Portastudio in 1983 after their father lost his job in a local factory and gave the brothers £300 from his redundancy money. Best. Investment. Ever. UH HUH.		1:22:38 (Pop-up)
Blitz	Attack "Attack" by "Blitz"	Voice of a Generation (Deluxe)	No Future	1982	Blitz were an English punk rock band from New Mills, Derbyshire, formed in 1980. With both punk and skinhead members, they were enthusiastically championed by Sounds magazine writer Garry Bushell. They had sent him their demo tape early in 1981. Bushell who labeled them Oi!, was impressed enough to put two of their tracks on that year's Carry On Oi compilation: "Nation On Fire" and "Youth". Blitz were considered part of the SHARP community, Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice are anti-racist skinheads who oppose white power skinheads, neo-fascists and other political racists, particularly if they identify themselves as skinheads.		1:25:33 (Pop-up)
Love and Rockets	So Alive "So Alive" by "Love and Rockets"	Love and Rockets	RCA	1989	Despite their previous band's status as a gothic rock act, Love and Rockets moved towards a slightly brighter and more pop-influenced sound. In 1989 the band released their self-titled album, which presented a more AOR sound.[6] The second single from the album was the T. Rex-inspired song "So Alive", which became a hit, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, a feat no Bauhaus-related band or artist has achieved before or since. Die hard fans view this song as a sell out, but I say it's well deserved success!		1:27:14 (Pop-up)
Skeeter Davis	Gonna Get Along Without You Now	The Essential Skeeter Davis	BMG	1995	Skeeter Davis (born Mary Frances Penick; December 30, 1931 – September 19, 2004) was an American country music singer and songwriter who sang crossover pop music songs including 1962's "The End of the World". She started out as part of the Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, eventually landing on RCA Victor. In the late 1950s, she became a solo star. One of the first women to achieve major stardom in the country music field as a solo vocalist, she was an acknowledged influence on Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton and was hailed as an "extraordinary country/pop singer" by The New York Times music critic Robert Palmer.		1:31:05 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Thundercat	Uh Uh "Uh Uh" by "Thundercat"	Drunk	Brainfeeder	2017	Thundercat’s music takes on many forms all at once: ’70s funk, R&B, punk with tinges of fusion. His art is undeniably black, yet the structures are loose enough to pull in all sorts of listeners. It speaks to those who love soul and ska equally, those who spazz just the same when George Duke or Bad Brains flash across the iPod. Thundercat is equal parts Nintendo generation, ’60s flower child, and hardcore skater bro.		1:37:45 (Pop-up)

Tall Dwarfs	Maybe "Maybe" by "Tall Dwarfs"	Unravelled: 1981-2002	Merge Records (orig. Flying Nun)	2022	Originally from 1982's "Louis Likes His Daily Dip" EP on Flying Nun, this is a remastered version that sounds brighter and more certain than the original. Either way, Chris Knox & Alex Bathgate were a formidable duo who made great art and did great things for the New Zealand independent scene. This included recordings, zines, the Flying Nun label, booking concerts & helping low-fi D.I.Y. find a wider audience.		1:49:26 (Pop-up)
Pavement	Maybe Maybe "Maybe Maybe" by "Pavement"	Westing (By Musket And Sextant)	Drag City	1989 / 1993	"After the success of Slanted And Enchanted on Matador Records, Drag City compiled Pavement's Slay Tracks: 1933 - 1969, Demolition Plot J-7, Perfect Sound Forever, and Summer Babe EPs, “My First Mine” (originally on a flexidisc from issue #8 of Ablaze! Magazine), and “My Radio” (from the Chemical Imbalance Vol. 2, No. 3 compilation)." This track was from Pavement's Self-released debut EP "Slay Tracks: 1933 - 1969", which came in "a foldover cover made from yellow/gold cardstock, hand-numbered on the back in ballpoint pen. With one-sided black-and-white printed insert. 1,000 copies pressed.

Björk	Possibly Maybe "Possibly Maybe" by "Björk"	Post	Elekra	1995	From Björk's 2nd full-length studio album. "The song details different stages of a breakup. Björk has said it was "the first unhappy song I wrote… I felt ashamed writing a song that was not giving hope". The melancholic piece was dedicated to her broken relationship with Stéphane Sednaoui, who, curiously, also directed the video. Rumours have persisted that Björk recorded the song in the nude, although this has not been publicly commented on. Björk was sued by British electronic musician Scanner for the uncleared sample of telephones ringing (from his album Mass Observation) at the start of the track. The situation caused her record label, One Little Indian, to retire all current copies of Post in the shops, and release a new version of the album that included a version of "Possibly Maybe" without the sample. Later on, when the issue was solved, the single version of the song included the sample again, as it appears in the music video. //// The B-side of single was "Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu", taken from the 1994 album Chansons des mers froides by Hector Zazou. A short making-of was recorded as part of the album."		1:54:45 (Pop-up)
The Chantays	Maybe Baby "Maybe Baby" by "The Chantays"	Two Sides Of The Chantays	Dot Records	1966	"The Chantays, sometimes credited as Chantay's, is an American surf music band from Orange County, California, United States, known for the hit instrumental "Pipeline" (1963). Their music combines electronic keyboards and surf guitar, creating a unique ghostly sound." This was from a full-length that mostly compiled their singles from 1964-1965. This song was originally written by Buddy Holly and the producer Norman Petty, and recorded by Holly and the Crickets in 1957.		1:59:50 (Pop-up)
The Ames Brothers and Les Brown & His Band Of Renown	Undecided	Undecided / Sentimental Journey 7"	Coral	1951	Written-By – Charles Shavers & Sid Robin //// Someone at Coral Records came up with the good idea of pairing the label’s top vocal group with its recently-signed Les Brown big band. Their most successful collaboration was this very swinging update of the 1939 song hit “Undecided” which spent five months on the Billboard charts, peaking at #4 on the juke box listings. //// As with the Ames’ other major Coral hits “Rag Mop” “Sentimental Me” and “Can Anyone Explain,” “Undecided” was re-recorded by them several years later on the widely-distributed RCA Victor “Best Of” LP, but with a different arrangement conducted by Sid Ramin."		2:01:51 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Add N To (X)	Oh Yeah, Oh No "Oh Yeah, Oh No" by "Add N To (X)"	Avant Hard	Mute Records	1999	"Add N to (X)'s third album, Avant Hard, combines the noisy, analog aesthetic of their previous works with an increasingly sophisticated, structured approach. Though the group's overdriven, menacing synth sound prevails on songs like "Robot New York" and "Buckminster Fuller," unexpected touches like the operatic vocals on "Fyuz" and the go-go guitars on "Skills" provide a welcome contrast and round out the band's sonic palette. Avant Hard finds Add N to (X) expanding their emotional range as well. The album begins with theoretical pieces like the aptly named "Barry 7's Contraption" and segues into a brace of filmic songs like the horror-show creepiness of "Steve's Going to Teach Himself Who's Boss" to the robo-porn soundtrack that is "Metal Fingers in My Body." "Revenge of the Black Regent" and "Ann's Eveready Equestrian" take this trend toward drama and build it to near Wagnerian heights, blending synths, strings, choral voices, and sound effects into symphonies of urban decay. Finally, Avant Hard ends on a relatively gentle note, with a pair of songs -- "Oh Yeah Oh No" and "Machine Is Bored With Love" -- that explore Add N to (X)'s softer, even poignant side. "Machine" is based on samples from the early-'70s experimental band Egg, adding to a long list of musical pioneers -- including Joe Meek, Suicide, Kraftwerk, and Bruce Haack -- that the group borrows from and updates.

	🏝 ♥ 9:26pm ultradamno: You could have a set of alternating songs from the band Yes and the band No
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: I like The Kills, especially Mean Side and the early eps. MB and NW are good too.
	9:31pm Feldy: Heya guys!
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 I have to admit that Midnight Boom is the only album I know, though I have enjoyed it many times... I have the Black Rooster EP, too, but need to revisit it. Though, really, it's not hard to investigate any/everything these days, huh?
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:31 Hello Feldy, what is happening in your world?
	♥ 9:34pm DJ Babs: Hi guys! I’m listening in with my mom at her house!!!

	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, thank-you all for tuning in!
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 I have this thing that happens every so often, that is usually a good sign about a record, that while listening to it I think "this could have been on Slash in 82 without sticking out as an embarrassment" Mean Side is one of those, Those Darlins debut and Sauna Youth's Distractions are too.
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: Black Rooster is from around the same time as Mean Side and in that style...Fried My Little Brains is another.
	9:38pm Feldy: Grilling. My 15-yo Yorkie just had twenty teeth extractions today.
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: I had to turn this down because my mom does not love JAMC as much as I do!
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:38 Oh my, twenty teeth extractions... poor Yorkie. How is the patient? Recovering?
	♥ 9:41pm DJ Babs: Oh Feldy! Ouch! But good for them in the long run!
	9:43pm Feldy: He’s disoriented, but doing okay. He definitely doesn’t have to have any more teeth worked on (he has three left!)
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:38 She won't get a chance to learn to love them if you turn it down...
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:43 Oh my. Well, glad to hear he's doing ok. Wishing him a quick recovery.
	♥ 9:45pm DJ Babs: Haha! She is liking the Skeeter Davis!
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm ultradamno: The only thing my mom could never really get used to was The Residents. She was convinced I only played them to hurt her.
	9:46pm Feldy: Thanks! 😊
	🏝 ♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: Did you hear about the woman who reportedly had a 'full body orgasm' at a LA Philharmonic performance? I don't know how an earwitness could determine the nature of her experience from the sound, but... www.latimes.com...
	♥ 9:53pm DJ Babs: Haha yes! I checked out the audio…which I feel like I shouldn’t have after the fact lol

Tonight's show will feature (amongst the usual treats) an interview with Whitney K. The interview was conducted last year, but remained unaired until now.
Music behind DJ: Sounds Of The Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds Of The Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			0:00:12 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Add N To (X)	Oh Yeah, Oh No "Oh Yeah, Oh No" by "Add N To (X)"	Avant Hard	Mute Records	1999	"Add N to (X)'s third album, Avant Hard, combines the noisy, analog aesthetic of their previous works with an increasingly sophisticated, structured approach. Though the group's overdriven, menacing synth sound prevails on songs like "Robot New York" and "Buckminster Fuller," unexpected touches like the operatic vocals on "Fyuz" and the go-go guitars on "Skills" provide a welcome contrast and round out the band's sonic palette. Avant Hard finds Add N to (X) expanding their emotional range as well. The album begins with theoretical pieces like the aptly named "Barry 7's Contraption" and segues into a brace of filmic songs like the horror-show creepiness of "Steve's Going to Teach Himself Who's Boss" to the robo-porn soundtrack that is "Metal Fingers in My Body." "Revenge of the Black Regent" and "Ann's Eveready Equestrian" take this trend toward drama and build it to near Wagnerian heights, blending synths, strings, choral voices, and sound effects into symphonies of urban decay. Finally, Avant Hard ends on a relatively gentle note, with a pair of songs -- "Oh Yeah Oh No" and "Machine Is Bored With Love" -- that explore Add N to (X)'s softer, even poignant side. "Machine" is based on samples from the early-'70s experimental band Egg, adding to a long list of musical pioneers -- including Joe Meek, Suicide, Kraftwerk, and Bruce Haack -- that the group borrows from and updates. With analog savvy and rock attitude, Avant Hard reveals itself as one of Add N to (X)'s finest moments."		0:00:32 (Pop-up)
Nico	I'm Not Sayin' "I'm Not Sayin'" by "Nico"	I'm Not Sayin'	Immediate / Phillips	1965	An early Gordon Lightfoot song covered by a pre-Velvet Underground Nico. Gordon Lightfoot died this Monday May 1. "Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. CC OOnt (November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music. He is credited with helping to define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. He has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and his songs have been recorded by some of the world's most renowned musical artists. Lightfoot's biographer Nicholas Jennings said, "His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness" -- That same biographer had much to say about Nico's version of this song, find his fascinating page about it here: Nico sings Gord: The coolest Lightfoot cover of all Also, according to AllMusic: "Midway between her career as a European actress and model and her arrival in Andy Warhol's New York, Nico was introduced to producer Andrew Loog Oldham by Rolling Stones' guitarist Brian Jones. It was Oldham who cast her as a folksinger and chose Canadian Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm Not Sayin'" as her debut release. Jones played acoustic guitar on the session. Nico herself wasn't especially fond of the song, a bouncy Dylanesque number which had to be taken down to B-flat major before her own natural contralto voice could get to grips with it. Strings, arranged by David Whittaker, and a light-hearted glockenspiel added to the airy performance. Yet it is not so far a departure from Nico's work elsewhere in the mid-'60s -- with and without the Velvet Underground, she was first and foremost a balladeer." //// Also of note, Jimmy Page was a session musician at the time & also provided guitar on the track. //// Lastly, a promotional video from that time can be found here: Nico - I'm Not Sayin' (1965 video/"film promo")		0:05:06 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Whitney K	635 East Hastings "635 East Hastings" by "Whitney K"	When The Party's Over	Egg Paper Factory	2017	Tonight we will be interviewing Konner Whitney, aka Whitney K. This is one of his earlier & more abstract/noisy tracks. It seems to draw some inspiration from early VU, which is why it is natural to have it follow Nico/Gordon Lightfoot.		0:07:43 (Pop-up)
Goat, John Mark Lapham	Under No Nation 12" Remix	Seu Sangue EP	Rocket Recording	2023	GOAT are the Swedish collective known for wearing masks, bizarre costumes and incorporate afrobeat/worldbeat into their psych-influenced sound. The band are currently based in Gothenburg (famous for the metallic likes of At the Gates, In Flames and Dark Tranquility), but claim to originate from a Norrbotten voodoo sect in Korpilombolo. Seu Sangue is s a collection of four remixes of cuts taken from the recent Oh Death album as well as a brand-new unreleased track. The remix conjures memories of early ‘80s hip-hop, The Tom Tom Club and ESG. Additional percussion is provided by former Swans member Thor Harris, whose presence is admittedly a little surprising seeing as his former employers weren’t exactly known for their levity or funkiness...It's good to have GOAT back!	*	0:14:19 (Pop-up)
Dawn Penn	You Don't Love Me (No No No)		Warner	1994	You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" is a song by Jamaican recording artist Dawn Penn, released in February 1994 as the first single from her first studio album, No, No, No (1994). Penn had originally recorded a version of Cobbs' 1960 song "You Don't Love Me" in 1967, incorporating elements of its music and lyrics. It is claimed that the Cobbs song was, in turn, based on Diddley's 1955 song "She's Fine, She's Mine". Thus, both are credited as songwriters on Penn's recording. In 1994, after a 17-year break from the music industry, she re-recorded a dancehall version of the song retitled "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)". Penn's 1994 version of the song became a commercial success worldwide, charting in the top 20 of several countries including #3 in the UK and has been covered since by many artists of note including Beyonce and Rihanna.		0:20:05 (Pop-up)
Ringo Starr	No-No Song "No-No Song" by "Ringo Starr"	Goodnight Vienna	Apple Records	1974	Goodnight Vienna is the fourth studio album by Ringo Starr. It was recorded in the summer of 1974 in Los Angeles, and released later that year. Goodnight Vienna followed the commercially successful predecessor Ringo, and Starr used many of the same players, including Billy Preston, Klaus Voormann, Robbie Robertson, Harry Nilsson, and producer Richard Perry. The title is a Liverpool slang phrase meaning "it's all over". The cover artwork for Goodnight Vienna was based on a still from the classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Starr's head replacing that of actor Michael Rennie shown standing behind the robot Gort. A television commercial, which featured a voiceover from John Lennon, depicted the cover's flying saucer (with Starr) over Los Angeles—landing on the roof of the Capitol Records Building in Hollywood.		0:23:25 (Pop-up)
The Zombies	Tell Her No "Tell Her No" by "The Zombies"	Tell Her No/She's Not There 7"	London Records	1967	"Tell Her No" is a hit single written by Rod Argent and included by English rock band the Zombies on their debut album The Zombies in 1965. According to Argent, "Tell Her No" was influenced by the music of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Music critic Maury Dean described it as a precursor to jazz fusion for the way the song moves in fits and starts and for its polyrhythms. The word "No" is mentioned a total of 63 times in the lyrics.		0:25:58 (Pop-up)
The Launderettes	Nobody But Me "Nobody But Me" by "The Launderettes"	Shaken and Disturbed	Wicked Cool Records	2002	The Launderettes is an all girl garage rock band from Oslo, Norway. The band has been around since 1996, and over the years they have toured both the US and Europe, and released several albums and singles. "Nobody but Me" is a song written by O'Kelly, Rudolph, and Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers and first recorded by The Isley Brothers in 1962. The most commercially successful and widely known version to date is the 1968 US Top 10 hit by The Human Beinz, which was their only chart success. Dave Marsh, in his Book of Rock Lists named the version by the Human Beinz as "The most negative song to hit the Top 40," noting that the word "no" is sung over 100 times in a mere 2:16. The word "nobody" appears 46 times more; and "for balance, they throw in the word Yeah once".		0:28:07 (Pop-up)
Vivian Girls	No "No" by "Vivian Girls"	Vivian Girls	Fuck It Tapes	2008	Vivian Girls, named after Henry Darger's magnum opus (full title: The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion), started in Brooklyn, NY in March 2007, as the trio of Cassie Ramone (guitar/vocals), Katy "Kickball Katy" Goodman (bass/drums/vocals), and Frankie Rose (drums/bass/vocals). Within the first couple of months, they had already developed a strong local following, supporting acts like Jay Reatard, Sonic Youth, and the King Khan & BBQ Show, as well as finding kindred spirits in other local bands, like Cause Co-Motion!, Crystal Stilts, and Woods, with whom they shared many bills and helped develop a local scene, to which the band is still very much connected. n January 2014, the band announced they were breaking up, with two last shows at The Church on York in Los Angeles, and Death by Audio in Brooklyn.		0:30:37 (Pop-up)
TV Girl	Not Allowed "Not Allowed" by "TV Girl"	Who Really Cares	TV Girl	2016	TV Girl is an American indie pop band from San Diego, California, consisting of Brad Petering, Brayden Patterson, Reagan Landen, Jason Wyman, and Wyatt Harmon. Their subject matter is nostalgic and sad, but simultaneously sarcastic and humorous. Some motifs in their lyrics include women, heartbreak, cynicism, sex, memories, cigarettes, hair, women's first names, and loneliness. They are also known for their use of vintage audio samples that are sampled into many of their songs. Their songs have seen major traction on TikTok..which they find dismaying and upsettng.		0:31:59 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Ridiculous Trio	No Fun "No Fun" by "The Ridiculous Trio"	The Ridiculous Trio Plays The Stooges	Modern Harmonic	2020	The Ridiculous Trio are from Chicago, and, as a unit, seem to have devoted their entire existence to covering the Stooges...performed entirely on drums, trombone and tuba! But it’s not just a novelty thing. The band comprises of three musicians who are regulars on the Chicago avant-garde/free-music scene. Trombonist Hagedorn explains his part in it: “With Iggy's tenor voice and my instrument being in the tenor range, I knew our timbres would match. Iggy approached his voice with a lot of patience and space, but used a full, aggressive sound that had plenty of nuance, and that's what I wanted to replicate in the trio... Sometimes I'd go between playing the lead guitar part to the vocal, switching back and forth as needed.”		0:34:50 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Beach Boys	Caroline, No - Instrumental Version	Pet Sounds (50th Anniversary Edition)	Capitol Records	1966	"Caroline, No" is a song by American musician Brian Wilson that was released as his first solo record on March 7, 1966 and, two months later, reissued as the closing track on the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds. Written with Tony Asher, the lyrics describe a disillusioned man who reflects on his former love interest and the loss of her innocence. Musically, it is distinguished for its jazz chords and unusual combination of instruments, including bass flutes, 12-string electric guitar, and muted harpsichord. The words were inspired by a past girlfriend of Asher's named Carol Amen. He initially conceived the title phrase as "Carol, I Know", misheard by Wilson as "Caroline, No". Wilson produced the track in early 1966 at Western Studio with 12 session musicians who variously played harpsichord, flutes, guitars, basses, and vibraphone. Some of the percussion involved an empty water cooler jug struck from the bottom with a mallet. Wilson sped up the mix by one semitone to make his voice sound younger. The album version was edited to include a non-musical tag consisting of the sounds of Wilson's dogs barking and a passing train.		0:38:28 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: John Foxx	Mr. No "Mr. No" by "John Foxx"	The Virgin Years 1980-1985	Metamatic Records	2014	John Foxx is an English singer, musician, artist, photographer, graphic designer, writer, teacher and lecturer. He was the original lead singer of the new wave band Ultravox, before leaving to embark on a solo career in 1980 with the album Metamatic. Primarily associated with electronic synthesizer music, he has also pursued a parallel career in graphic design and education. Andy Kellman of AllMusic described Foxx as an influential cult figure whose "detached, jolting vocal style inspired mainstream and underground artists across the decades."		0:40:46 (Pop-up)

The album begins with theoretical pieces like the aptly named "Barry 7's Contraption" and segues into a brace of filmic songs like the horror-show creepiness of "Steve's Going to Teach Himself Who's Boss" to the robo-porn soundtrack that is "Metal Fingers in My Body." "Revenge of the Black Regent" and "Ann's Eveready Equestrian" take this trend toward drama and build it to near Wagnerian heights, blending synths, strings, choral voices, and sound effects into symphonies of urban decay. Finally, Avant Hard ends on a relatively gentle note, with a pair of songs -- "Oh Yeah Oh No" and "Machine Is Bored With Love" -- that explore Add N to (X)'s softer, even poignant side. "Machine" is based on samples from the early-'70s experimental band Egg, adding to a long list of musical pioneers -- including Joe Meek, Suicide, Kraftwerk, and Bruce Haack -- that the group borrows from and updates. With analog savvy and rock attitude, Avant Hard reveals itself as one of Add N to (X)'s finest moments."		1:11:36 (Pop-up)
The Kills	Getting Down "Getting Down" by "The Kills"	Midnight Boom	Domino	2008	Midnight Boom is the third album by indie rock band The Kills, released on March 10, 2008, through Domino Records. It was recorded at the Key Club Recording Company in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The title refers to the hours from midnight to 6 a.m., in which the band was at the creative peak, writing material for the album. The type of twosome who wear sunglasses indoors, Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart teeter on the edge of ridiculousness - but at least they are faithful to their idea of rock'n'roll. It's a stripped-down foray into a netherworld of sex, drugs and very late bedtimes. As ever, Hince and Mosshart play it like they mean it...		1:14:46 (Pop-up)
TRIO	Ya-Ya "Ya-Ya" by "TRIO"	Trio	Mercury	1981	Trio was a German band also known as ZAM in Europe, formed in the town of Großenkneten in 1979. The band is most known for the 1982 song "Da Da Da" which was a hit in 30 countries worldwide. The song was originally written by Dorsey, C. L. Blast, Bobby Robinson, and Morris Levy in 1961 and was inspired by a children's nursery rhyme. It has been covered by numerous artists over the years and was a frequent fixture in early Beatles sets, with Lennon taking vocal duties. French versions were also recorded by Johnny Halliday and Petula Clark.		1:17:44 (Pop-up)
David Byrne	Poison "Poison" by "David Byrne"	The Catherine Wheel - The Complete Score	Sire Records	1981	The Catherine Wheel is an album by Scottish-American musician David Byrne, released in 1981 by Sire Records. It contains Byrne's musical score for choreographer Twyla Tharp's dance project of the same name. In some ways, The Catherine Wheel is David Byrne’s most overtly avant-garde work to date. It’s also his most rhythmically informed album, featuring two full-time percussionists, Yogi Horton and John Chernoff. Byrne handles most of the musical duties with contributions from a familiar circle of players (Brian Eno, Adrian Belew, Dolette McDonald, Steve Scales, Bernie Worrell). As to whether it offers a glimpse into what life after Talking Heads would look like for Byrne, the answer is yes....and no...		1:20:00 (Pop-up)
The Jesus and Mary Chain	Upside Down	Psychocandy (Expanded)	Blanco Y Negro	1985	You can't have an uhuh or hey hey hey set without JAMC, there are so many examples to choose from! The album is considered a landmark recording: its combination of guitar feedback and noise with traditional pop melody and structure proved influential on the forthcoming shoegaze genre and alternative rock in general. Bubblegum pop wrapped in screetching noise. "Upside Down" sold out its initial pressing and ended the year by being placed at number 37 in John Peel's Festive Fifty. Fun fact about JAMC: Their first recordings came about when they bought a Portastudio in 1983 after their father lost his job in a local factory and gave the brothers £300 from his redundancy money. Best. Investment. Ever. UH HUH.		1:22:38 (Pop-up)
Blitz	Attack "Attack" by "Blitz"	Voice of a Generation (Deluxe)	No Future	1982	Blitz were an English punk rock band from New Mills, Derbyshire, formed in 1980. With both punk and skinhead members, they were enthusiastically championed by Sounds magazine writer Garry Bushell. They had sent him their demo tape early in 1981. Bushell who labeled them Oi!, was impressed enough to put two of their tracks on that year's Carry On Oi compilation: "Nation On Fire" and "Youth". Blitz were considered part of the SHARP community, Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice are anti-racist skinheads who oppose white power skinheads, neo-fascists and other political racists, particularly if they identify themselves as skinheads.		1:25:33 (Pop-up)
Love and Rockets	So Alive "So Alive" by "Love and Rockets"	Love and Rockets	RCA	1989	Despite their previous band's status as a gothic rock act, Love and Rockets moved towards a slightly brighter and more pop-influenced sound. In 1989 the band released their self-titled album, which presented a more AOR sound.[6] The second single from the album was the T. Rex-inspired song "So Alive", which became a hit, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, a feat no Bauhaus-related band or artist has achieved before or since. Die hard fans view this song as a sell out, but I say it's well deserved success!		1:27:14 (Pop-up)
Skeeter Davis	Gonna Get Along Without You Now	The Essential Skeeter Davis	BMG	1995	Skeeter Davis (born Mary Frances Penick; December 30, 1931 – September 19, 2004) was an American country music singer and songwriter who sang crossover pop music songs including 1962's "The End of the World". She started out as part of the Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, eventually landing on RCA Victor. In the late 1950s, she became a solo star. One of the first women to achieve major stardom in the country music field as a solo vocalist, she was an acknowledged influence on Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton and was hailed as an "extraordinary country/pop singer" by The New York Times music critic Robert Palmer.		1:31:05 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Baghira	Uh Huh "Uh Huh" by "Baghira"	Instrumentals Vol 1	Estudio 808	2014	Baghira, music producer born in Lora del Río, Seville. He was born in 1987, and began his first steps in music production in 2002.		1:33:27 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Thundercat	Uh Uh "Uh Uh" by "Thundercat"	Drunk	Brainfeeder	2017	Thundercat’s music takes on many forms all at once: ’70s funk, R&B, punk with tinges of fusion. His art is undeniably black, yet the structures are loose enough to pull in all sorts of listeners. It speaks to those who love soul and ska equally, those who spazz just the same when George Duke or Bad Brains flash across the iPod. Thundercat is equal parts Nintendo generation, ’60s flower child, and hardcore skater bro.		1:37:45 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Rock Mercury	Uh Huh "Uh Huh" by "Rock Mercury"	Uh Huh	Myron Marcell Fulton	2019	Who is Rock Mercury? We don't know. He has a fancy website with lots of merch. He has a podcast. He has 8 listeners a month on Spotify. He wants to be the "greatest pop star in the world". He has a song called "Queef In Silence" Uhhhhh huuuuuuuuhhhhh........		1:40:04 (Pop-up)
Tall Dwarfs	Maybe "Maybe" by "Tall Dwarfs"	Unravelled: 1981-2002	Merge Records (orig. Flying Nun)	2022	Originally from 1982's "Louis Likes His Daily Dip" EP on Flying Nun, this is a remastered version that sounds brighter and more certain than the original. Either way, Chris Knox & Alex Bathgate were a formidable duo who made great art and did great things for the New Zealand independent scene. This included recordings, zines, the Flying Nun label, booking concerts & helping low-fi D.I.Y. find a wider audience.		1:49:26 (Pop-up)
Pavement	Maybe Maybe "Maybe Maybe" by "Pavement"	Westing (By Musket And Sextant)	Drag City	1989 / 1993	"After the success of Slanted And Enchanted on Matador Records, Drag City compiled Pavement's Slay Tracks: 1933 - 1969, Demolition Plot J-7, Perfect Sound Forever, and Summer Babe EPs, “My First Mine” (originally on a flexidisc from issue #8 of Ablaze! Magazine), and “My Radio” (from the Chemical Imbalance Vol. 2, No. 3 compilation)." This track was from Pavement's Self-released debut EP "Slay Tracks: 1933 - 1969", which came in "a foldover cover made from yellow/gold cardstock, hand-numbered on the back in ballpoint pen. With one-sided black-and-white printed insert. 1,000 copies pressed. There is a green dinosaur stamp on the label of the first 50 copies Recorded at (Gary Young's studio) Louder Than You Think, Stockton, CA, January 17th and 18th, 1989."		1:52:29 (Pop-up)
Björk	Possibly Maybe "Possibly Maybe" by "Björk"	Post	Elekra	1995	From Björk's 2nd full-length studio album. "The song details different stages of a breakup. Björk has said it was "the first unhappy song I wrote… I felt ashamed writing a song that was not giving hope". The melancholic piece was dedicated to her broken relationship with Stéphane Sednaoui, who, curiously, also directed the video. Rumours have persisted that Björk recorded the song in the nude, although this has not been publicly commented on. Björk was sued by British electronic musician Scanner for the uncleared sample of telephones ringing (from his album Mass Observation) at the start of the track. The situation caused her record label, One Little Indian, to retire all current copies of Post in the shops, and release a new version of the album that included a version of "Possibly Maybe" without the sample. Later on, when the issue was solved, the single version of the song included the sample again, as it appears in the music video. //// The B-side of single was "Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu", taken from the 1994 album Chansons des mers froides by Hector Zazou. A short making-of was recorded as part of the album."		1:54:45 (Pop-up)
The Chantays	Maybe Baby "Maybe Baby" by "The Chantays"	Two Sides Of The Chantays	Dot Records	1966	"The Chantays, sometimes credited as Chantay's, is an American surf music band from Orange County, California, United States, known for the hit instrumental "Pipeline" (1963). Their music combines electronic keyboards and surf guitar, creating a unique ghostly sound." This was from a full-length that mostly compiled their singles from 1964-1965. This song was originally written by Buddy Holly and the producer Norman Petty, and recorded by Holly and the Crickets in 1957.		1:59:50 (Pop-up)
The Ames Brothers and Les Brown & His Band Of Renown	Undecided	Undecided / Sentimental Journey 7"	Coral	1951	Written-By – Charles Shavers & Sid Robin //// Someone at Coral Records came up with the good idea of pairing the label’s top vocal group with its recently-signed Les Brown big band. Their most successful collaboration was this very swinging update of the 1939 song hit “Undecided” which spent five months on the Billboard charts, peaking at #4 on the juke box listings. //// As with the Ames’ other major Coral hits “Rag Mop” “Sentimental Me” and “Can Anyone Explain,” “Undecided” was re-recorded by them several years later on the widely-distributed RCA Victor “Best Of” LP, but with a different arrangement conducted by Sid Ramin."		2:01:51 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Add N To (X)	Oh Yeah, Oh No "Oh Yeah, Oh No" by "Add N To (X)"	Avant Hard	Mute Records	1999	"Add N to (X)'s third album, Avant Hard, combines the noisy, analog aesthetic of their previous works with an increasingly sophisticated, structured approach. Though the group's overdriven, menacing synth sound prevails on songs like "Robot New York" and "Buckminster Fuller," unexpected touches like the operatic vocals on "Fyuz" and the go-go guitars on "Skills" provide a welcome contrast and round out the band's sonic palette. Avant Hard finds Add N to (X) expanding their emotional range as well. The album begins with theoretical pieces like the aptly named "Barry 7's Contraption" and segues into a brace of filmic songs like the horror-show creepiness of "Steve's Going to Teach Himself Who's Boss" to the robo-porn soundtrack that is "Metal Fingers in My Body." "Revenge of the Black Regent" and "Ann's Eveready Equestrian" take this trend toward drama and build it to near Wagnerian heights, blending synths, strings, choral voices, and sound effects into symphonies of urban decay. Finally, Avant Hard ends on a relatively gentle note, with a pair of songs -- "Oh Yeah Oh No" and "Machine Is Bored With Love" -- that explore Add N to (X)'s softer, even poignant side.

	🏝 ♥ 9:26pm ultradamno: You could have a set of alternating songs from the band Yes and the band No
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: I like The Kills, especially Mean Side and the early eps. MB and NW are good too.
	9:31pm Feldy: Heya guys!
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 I have to admit that Midnight Boom is the only album I know, though I have enjoyed it many times... I have the Black Rooster EP, too, but need to revisit it. Though, really, it's not hard to investigate any/everything these days, huh?
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:31 Hello Feldy, what is happening in your world?
	♥ 9:34pm DJ Babs: Hi guys! I’m listening in with my mom at her house!!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Babs! Hello mom!
	♥ 9:35pm DJ Babs: Thanks all for tuning in tonight!
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm Derek Westerholm: Here comes the feedback & "uh huh huhs"
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, thank-you all for tuning in!
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 I have this thing that happens every so often, that is usually a good sign about a record, that while listening to it I think "this could have been on Slash in 82 without sticking out as an embarrassment" Mean Side is one of those, Those Darlins debut and Sauna Youth's Distractions are too.
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: Black Rooster is from around the same time as Mean Side and in that style...Fried My Little Brains is another.
	9:38pm Feldy: Grilling. My 15-yo Yorkie just had twenty teeth extractions today.
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: I had to turn this down because my mom does not love JAMC as much as I do!
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:38 Oh my, twenty teeth extractions... poor Yorkie. How is the patient? Recovering?
	♥ 9:41pm DJ Babs: Oh Feldy! Ouch! But good for them in the long run!
	9:43pm Feldy: He’s disoriented, but doing okay. He definitely doesn’t have to have any more teeth worked on (he has three left!)
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:38 She won't get a chance to learn to love them if you turn it down...
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:43 Oh my. Well, glad to hear he's doing ok. Wishing him a quick recovery.
	♥ 9:45pm DJ Babs: Haha! She is liking the Skeeter Davis!
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm ultradamno: The only thing my mom could never really get used to was The Residents. She was convinced I only played them to hurt her.
	9:46pm Feldy: Thanks! 😊
	🏝 ♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: Did you hear about the woman who reportedly had a 'full body orgasm' at a LA Philharmonic performance? I don't know how an earwitness could determine the nature of her experience from the sound, but... www.latimes.com...
	♥ 9:53pm DJ Babs: Haha yes! I checked out the audio…which I feel like I shouldn’t have after the fact lol
	♥ 9:54pm DJ Babs: Sorry about the queef reference I couldn’t resist not mentioning it lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:56pm ultradamno: If you're not going to queef out loud, why bother?
	♥ 9:58pm DJ Babs: Haha! Derek doing a most admirable job of reading my comments!!
	♥ 10:00pm DJ Babs: Going late tonight…love it!

	🏝 ♥ 10:04pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:50 Yes, I saw the headline, but did not dive too much further than that, haha.
	🏝 ♥ 10:04pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 Did it work?
	🏝 ♥ 10:04pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @10:02 So glad you do! Yay!
	🏝 ♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @10:04 No, only Goosebumps and Fingerprince really got under her skin. I remember her making me turn off Conflict once because it was 'positively spastic'
	🏝 ♥ 10:06pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:01 Thanks Scott, so happy to be here on the beach, as always!
	🏝 ♥ 10:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @10:06 UD, I am quite enjoying these stories!

	♥ 10:11pm DJ Babs: Yes I have been taking note of the Frank Ocean debacle…2 million on a skating rink for his show lol.
	♥ 10:13pm DJ Babs: I try to stay away from most Coachella related nonsense…I am not a fan of the politics of the organizers…or the mindset of the attendees…it seems like a bogus fashion show and less about the music
	♥ 10:14pm DJ Babs: Very everly brothers/buddy Holly
